Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 391

"Adam." Julianna was happy to see her eldest son. "You're here."

This was the second time Adam had come to visit her since she was admitted to the hospital.

His appearance surprised her. "Nothing going on today?"

"Mom," Adam started. "The medicine you told me you were taking over the phone. Did you already finish them?"

"There's still one left for today." Julianna assumed that her son was asking because he cared for her health. "That medicine is quite the special thing. Four of those and I'm close to recovery." "Don't take the last one," he said. "Give it to me."

"Give it to you?" Both Julianna and Adrien asked. "What for?"

"Yeah." She didn't understand. "This is to treat my illness. What do you need it for?"

"It's for something important. Give it to me!"

"I can't do that," she said. "I can't give it to you. I need Emmeline's medicine to stabilize my health!"

"Go ask her for more then. I'm taking the last pack. I'm telling you, it's important. I need it!"

He swept a glance around the room to replace the package sitting on the bedside table.

He grabbed it.

"Adam!" Adrien tried to stop him. "What are you doing? Mom needs that. Why the hell are you taking that away?"

"This thing is important. I'm going to avenge Mom."

"What do you mean you're avenging Mom?" Adrien fought back. "Give it back!"

"Who got you so riled up?"

Adam scoffed coldly. "Would you be this ill if it weren't for them? You almost died!" Julianna fell silent. "..." Abel was indeed the one that put her in her current state. "What do you mean, Adam? Are you saying we can take down Abel with this?" "That's my business." Adam sounded impatient. "Take care of Mom. I'm leaving!" With that, he left the ward.

Adrien didn't think it was right that he was taking the medicine with him.

How was he supposed to ask Emmeline for more?

Adam was already in the elevator when he caught up to him.

Adrien returned to the room with his head hanging low. Julianna tried to placate him, "Forget it. You can just ask Emmeline for more."

"How am I supposed to do that?" Adrien looked miserable. "Adam took that as a means to get back at Abel."

"And what's wrong with that?" She asked. "Look at what he did to me?"

"I just think it doesn't make any sense..."

"What doesn't make sense?"

Julianna waved him off. "Just give Emmeline a call and get here to prepare an extra dose for today."

The family of six returned to The Precipice.

Emmeline left her phone back in the living room after heading upstairs to get changed.

The device began to ring.

Abel noticed Adrien's name flashing on her phone.

He frowned as he felt jealousy rush over him.

Adrien cut the call when no one answered.

Emmeline came back downstairs once she had gotten changed into her loungewear.

"Your phone, Em. Adrien called," Abel said.

Emmeline's brows furrowed. She pouted. "Why won't he just disappear?"

"Maybe it's something important. You should call him back."

The more she thought about it, the more his words made sense.

She caved and called him back.

Adrien answered in an instant.

"Emma." He sounded agitated.

"Did you need something, Adrien?" She asked cooly.

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Spill. I have the right to refuse your request if you start spouting nonsense."

"It's nothing like that." He panicked. "I need you to do me a favor."

"Umm..."

Julianna took his phone before he could finish. "Emma? It's me. I was wondering if you could prepare another dose of the medication. It works really well." "Mrs. Julianna? The dosage should've been just right. You should be fine after you finish everything. Why do you need more?"
